The CFO recently went to Ireland to secure the new Customer Service company. With this, he plans to "displace" Nebraska, South Carolina, and parts of Columbus-HQ. Along with CS, payroll, benefits, and other HR areas will be severely cut. Why? The CFO wants to cut $400million in budget. Wise up. Get out.

To be painfully honest, I dont see that there are any safe areas at this point. I don't want to believe this myself, not of the company I've devoted my best working years to, but what I'm hearing from reputable sources is that Aflac wants to get back to basics, and that's insurance. Everything else, IT, customer service, hr, benefits, payroll, group, etc are all targets for potential onshore/offshore outsourcing.
Any word on whether or not there are plans to "displace" in the Albany, NY office?
There has always been a huge push to cut the operating budget each year. The question the employees should be asking, is where do all those MAJOR profits go (multi-billions each year in PROFIT). It's not being shared with the employees, the ones who actually make the company successful. Merit increases are minimal for the employees...but those execs are certainly getting richer. Employees are breaking their backs each year for an insignificant 2% raise, while the execs are getting the big bucks and major bonuses. All officers get 25-100% bonuses. When you add that to their $200-500k salaries...there's no doubt they think Aflac is a great place to work.
